Links With Heaven. BY ADELAIDE PROCTER. THE PILOT. Boston, January ii, 1873. Ourfiod, In Heaven, from that holy place, To each of us an angel guide lias given; Hut mothers of dead children have more grace— I-or they give angels to their God in Heaven. How can a mother's heart feel cold or weary, Knowing her dearer self safe, happy, warm? How can she feel her road too dark or dreary, Who knows her treasure sheltered from the storm? How oan she sin? Our hearts may be unheeding, Oar God forgot, our Holy Saints defied; Hut can a mother hear her dead child pleading, And thrust those little angel hands aside? Those little hands stretched down to draw her ever Nearer to God by mother love:—we aU Are blind and weak, yet surely she can never, With such a stake in Heaven, fail or fall. She knows that when tlic mighty angels raise Chorus in Heaven, one little silver tone Is hers forever, that one little praise, One little happy voice is all her own. We may not see her sacred crown of honor, Bu...

Light on Prussian Policy. CONNELLAN. Prince Bismarck is a man who plays heavy stakes in the game of politics with au apparent recklessness. He is generally successful. Yet (lie recklessness is only au appearance, the cost of the game has been counted, every step calculated, every move prepared beforehand. Tlie war of 1870 was but the working out of apian conceived and perfected in its every detail long before the war took place. We have no reason to doubt that the persecution of the Catholic Church and its ministers, as well as the blow aimed at the Press the other day, lias been previously resolved in the brain of the Chancellor, and the difficulties and obstacles reckoned. It is quite probable that he not only saw the event but likewise tho results likely to follow, in his “ mind’s eye,”before he began the career of persecution. Men of his stamp, however, occasionally overstep the just measure of their powers and become so involved in their own plots that it is impossible for them...

Our Irish Letter. Cork, December 18, 1872. Tour Baptism of Fire In Boston has created a profound sensation of alarm and regret throughout Ireland. Judged by any estimate oldworld people can form, such a calamity would he simply appalling. Had the Boston fire chosen, say Dublin, for its playground, Dublin had been abolished for centuries. A loss of fifty millions sterling to Ireland, would mean national bankruptcy. Therefore it is w r e hold our breath iu amazement as we read the newspaper accounts of how the fire-fiend has swallowed up your fair city, and shudder to think that among the sufferers arc many of our own Irish raeo, men wiio were its Best ornaments as living monuments of what Ce tie brains and Celtic energy can do. But , we Lave formed gigantic ideas of American pluck and progress. Our sympathy is mingled with a sort of conviction that American fires are like American lakes and falls and mountains and enterprises—gigantesque: grand panoramas of devastation which appal tl...

Our Canada Letter. JAY KAY. Ottawa, Out., December 23, 1872. I. oicl Dufferin, Our Governor General, is determined to find his way to the hearts of the people of Canada. And he is succeeding very well, because he shows in every way that he can that he is alive to the interests of the public at large. lie has already made himself as well acquainted with the resources, the condition, and the intricate politics of the country as most Canadians are, and does not hesitate to express his opinion on all matters that come before him. lie is a very shrewd observer, it seems, and his notions of things in general arc very healthy. He has of late paid several ' hits to Our Eclucailocal Institutions, And his conduct on those occasions bears testimony to what I have said above concerning him. One of the first places that he honored with his presence was one of our Catholic convents in this city, and he sacmed to be highly pleased with the system under which it is conducted, as well as everything ...

Our English Letter. J. F. O’D. London, Dec. 18, 1872. The Prospects of “ Protestant Christianity ” In England are beginning to look dismally blue. The sectaries who never tire of calling us Catholics “idolaters,” and ‘ ‘ slaves of a degrading superstition,” arc falling into a quandary from which there can be no escape except through the avenues of infidelity or rationalism. On Tuesday the University of Oxford held a convocation to ‘ ‘ designate ” elect preachers for 1873. On the list of designates was the name of Dean Stanley, of Westminster Abbey. The Dean being a latitudinarian of the worst type, an effort was made by the more orthodox members of the university to insure his exclusion on the ground that he teaches doctrines subversive of Christianity and tending towards Unitarianism. Mr. Stanley whipped up his supporters in true sportsmanlike style, and when the fight came off he beat his opponents by a majority of sixty-two. Dr. Pusey’s party, with whom he is most unpopular, did ...

THE WICKED WOODS OF TOBEREEVIL; OR, The Ancestral Curse Removed. BY MISS MULHOLLAND, AUTHOR OF "HESTER'S HISTORY." CHAPTER IY. I.IFE AND DEATH. Silt John and Lady Archbold, who lived at Camlough in the hills, had an only daughter, about a year older than May. They loved this child better than their own souls and bodies, aud as much as they hated the thought of death—which is saying a good deal. The fam» of the beauty and spirit of this girl had travelled to Menasterlea, and many a time May had stood on tiptoe, looking over the hedges, to see her riding past by her father’s side, with her yellow hair streaming on the wind. The little girl at Camlough was one of May’s dream-play-mates. fc3ie had many such companions, who shared all her confidences, and joined in her games. Another was the grim stone angel of the passage, who was petted and talked to in the daylight, but rather shunned when the night began to come on. The girl from Camlough was May’s especial friend. This little person...

From the Dublin Nation. SADLEIR, THE BANKER; OR, THE LACEYS OF RATHCORE. A TALE OF IRISH LIFE. PART 11. CHAPTER XXX. It was a fine morning—one of those dreamy, cloudy mornings only to be seen in Switzerland and Ireland. Mr. Lacey had lighted his after breakfast pipe, and was sauntering idly on the lawn, absorbed in a mixed meditation on potatoes and politics, when he caught sight of the manly figure of a young man striding towards the house. “ llulloa! Prendergast,” he shouted in his heartiest manner. How goes the cause—how goes the good cause?” Prendergast removed his hat and exposed a forehead sparkling with beads of perspiration. “ Every one, but the people themselves, are against us, sir,” he said, grasping the old gentleman’s hand, “ but 1 think we’re bound to win. We ought to win, unless all notions of political decency are dead in Ireland.” “ •And we shall, by Heaven! Have the landlords touts called on your father yet?” “ They have, indeed, and you may count on a visit today....

An Interesting Letter. [The following letter from our N. Y. Correspondent came to hand too late for our last issue.] New Yokk, Dec. 24,1872. The Life of Denis Holland 1 do not propose to write in full. He was a native of Cork, was afterwards editor of a very able paper, the Ulsterman, of Belfast, then founder of the Dublin Irishman, afterwards London correspondent of the 6ame after it had passed out of his hands. There, too, he founded the Irish Liberator in 1864, but retired early from its management. At this time, too, he comme need writing stories of Irish Life for the Shamrock. Something over five years ago he emigrated to this country, where again for some time he was correspondent for the Irishman. He also here wrote Irish stories for the Emerald, a paper dead for some time, and later for the Celtic Weekly , and contributed, occasionally, articles, chiefly historical, for the Irish People. This is a very incomplete sketch of his literary life. It covers, however, all that I re...
